Optimize your Network with ADC Clustering

Application delivery controllers (ADCs) are often referred to as the proverbial Swiss army knife of data center appliances, helping with tasks from load balancing and web application firewall services to processing SSL VPN transactions and simply keeping apps up and running.

However, many organizations deploy ADCs in active-passive pairs, which are not only costly and capacity-wasting but also worrisome – you’ll never know if there’s something wrong with your spare ADC until you really need it.

This resource outlines why ADC clustering – or deploying paired ADCs in “active-active clusters” in which both ADCs share the workload – not only reduces waste and heightens your potential ROI but also simplifies management and improved reliability.

It can be tempting to stray from the security roadmap security professionals have put in place when data breaches like the Sony and Anthem breaches are all over the news. But experts say it's crucial to stick to the security basics.
